This grey dress at this winter wonderland Czech wedding is making our lives

Couples planning snow-covered winter weddings, this one is for you. Eliška and Ondra were married in an old mountian house in the Czech Republic built in the middle of 19th century. Eliška wore a flowy grey gown made of our wildest snowy goth wedding dreams, and the decor smacked of dark forest romance.
